Yan Song's treachery was really a bit unexpected by Yang Cong.

Yan Maoqing actually lay down on the bed and was fine!

Is that okay too?

He can be sure that Yan Maoqing is pretending to be sick, the problem is that Jiajing is a fool who doesn't know!

This kind of thing, if he bites it, he may be bitten back by Yan Song.

What's wrong?

People become sick from hard work and can't afford to be sick, not only do you not condole, but you also have to clean up people, what do you mean?

Could it be that just because people are not in the same group as you, you have to be so inhuman?

At that time, if Yan Song adds oil and vinegar and makes vain remarks in front of Jiajing, Jiajing is expected to be dissatisfied with him in turn.

Yan Song's move is really powerful.

not only dissolved his plan invisibly, but even blocked his mouth together.

Yang Cong felt aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't say anything.

As for Zhang Shiche's re-appointment as the secretary of Nanjing's household department, he felt that it was nothing.

Yan Maoqing can't get together the food and salary of the 190,000 army, and Zhang Shiche can't get it together?

This is just Yan Song's idea, Yang Cong doesn't think so.

Originally, after the production of the major salt farms under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing household department increased, they could barely supply the food and salary of the 180,000 army, but most of them were embezzled by Yan Song, Yan Maoqing and the officials under them.

After Zhang Shiche takes office, this corruption problem will definitely be solved slowly, and as for the difference of 10,000 horses, Yang Cong also has to solve it.

He doesn't even have to pay for it himself, and he can still make money, because he has the weapon of rail transportation.

You must know that salt merchants sell salt, except for the cost of bribing officials at all levels, most of the other costs are spent on transportation.

In the past, from Nanzhili or Jiangsu and Zhejiang places to transport grain to the border pass, the cost is simply unbearable, because at that time the grain can only be transported by horse-drawn carts or even rickshaws, the consumption of this carriage and horse manpower, far higher than the cost of the grain itself, it can be said that transporting 10,000 stone of grain to the border pass, the consumption of people eating horses on the road is more than 10,000 stone.

Therefore, salt merchants generally buy land in Shanxi, Shaanxi or Henan and other places to hire people to produce grain on the ground to save transportation costs.

In fact, the cost of doing this is not low, because the cost of buying land is too high, and the cost of buying land cannot be recovered if you don't do it for more than ten years.

In addition, the transportation cost of salt itself is not ordinarily high, and it is not an ordinary expense to transport salt from Nanzhili to the interior of Daming, because you not only have to hire someone to transport it, but also have to hire someone to protect it.

At this time, salt is worth as much as silver, and if there are not enough bodyguards, it is inevitable that they will be robbed on the road, and the cost of this bodyguard will be added up, and it will be even more expensive to transport salt than food.

Therefore, the business of the salt merchant is not easy to do at this time, not only to consume a huge amount of transportation costs, but also to spend a long time, there is a carriage is a little better, how can you run seventy or eighty miles a day, if it is transported by rickshaw, it is good to run thirty or forty miles a day, from Nanzhili to the interior of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of distance at every turn, a single trip at least takes a month, the road is far, it is possible to run for half a year.

When Yang Cong's parents were in the salt business, they couldn't return home for many months as adults.

However, it is different with the railway at this time, grain or something can be purchased directly from Nanzhili, and then transported to the capital by railway, and when the railway at the border pass is repaired, it can also be directly transported to the border pass.

The same is true for salt, at this time, South Zhili, North Zhili, Henan, Huguang and other places are connected to the railway, these provinces, directly by train, coastal can also be transported by ship.

In this way, the transportation cost of the salt merchants can be reduced by at least more than ninety percent, as long as they are allowed to pay one or two more grains, the grain and wages of the 190,000 army are basically enough, and the railway transportation has also prospered, and Yang Cong is equivalent to earning.

Of course, this is just a small amount of money, but Yang Cong knows that Yan Maoqing has embezzled at least half of the salt introduction, that is to say, the salt quotation he issued, one can receive two salts, one belongs to the salt merchant, and the other salt merchant has to sell the money to pay homage to him, and he will give most of it to Yan Song.

At this time, since Zhang Shiche has re-taken office, this half of the salt introduction share naturally does not need to "trouble" other salt merchants to sell it for money, the Yang family is familiar with the road, and the Wei State Mansion, the Cheng State Mansion, etc. are even more anxious to be fed, and this half of the salt share is handed over to their own people, so that not only can they ensure the food supply of the 190,000 army, but they can also earn a lot of profits.

Where could Yan Song have imagined that he asked Yan Maoqing to pretend to be sick and hand over the supply of food and salary to Zhang Shiche in charge of the northwest border pass, not only did he not block Yang Cong, but instead sent a Nanjing household book to Yangming for nothing!

With Yang Cong's cooperation, Zhang Shiche did not have any pressure at all to allocate the food and salary of the 190,000 army, and even the eunuch with Li Fang, the overseer, was so happy that he couldn't do it.

Because Yang Cong asked him to follow the train that transported the grain and salary, Shanxi and Nanzhili, and was specifically responsible for the acceptance of the grain.

This means, to put it simply, to be convenient for salt merchants.

All salt merchants, if they want to send their own grain and salary to the border pass, Li Fang will accept it at the border pass, and if they want to save trouble, they can directly send the grain and salary to the station in Nanzhili, as long as Li Fang has accepted and signed, they will pay the freight again, and they will not have to worry about the rest of the things.

This guy simply made all the salt merchants happy, you know, transporting grain from Nanzhili to the border is the most troublesome, and they spend most of the year on it.

Now it's okay, buy the grain directly in Nanzhili, pull it to the station with silver or something, ask Li Fang to accept it, this half a year will be saved, and the grain in Nanzhili is more than twice as cheap as that of the border pass, even if it is not so cheap to buy fields and grow grain at the border pass, even if you add freight, it is cost-effective to buy grain in Nanzhili, who does not buy grain in Nanzhili, that is a fool!

In this way, Li Fang is naturally so happy that he can't do it, and the salt merchants everywhere are thinking of ways to slap him.

Whatever you want to eat, whatever you want, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't eat.

Where do you want to play, as long as you say a word, people are vying to arrange it for you.

If you want money, it's simple, and if you don't know how to be filial, you can't be a salt merchant, who dares not to stuff him with something.

As a eunuch, that's all he can expect?

What he wants, the salt merchant is changing his way to satisfy him, coupled with Yang Cong's relationship, he is simply calling for wind and rain in Jinling City, and he can be as majestic as he wants.

He is not the kind of person who is insatiable, he has received so many benefits, he naturally knows the gratitude picture, but whenever Jiajing asks, he praises Yang Cong vigorously, even if Jiajing doesn't ask, he has to give Yang Cong a good compliment from time to time.

As soon as he did this, Yan Song was directly confused.

You know, Yan Song is waiting to see Yang Cong and Zhang Shiche's good show, as a result, the good show is a good show, but they are all praising Yang Cong's good play, what he is looking forward to, the lack of food and salary, the Northwest Mutiny or something, there is no shadow at all!

Who is this who lifted the stone and shot himself in the foot?
